Top Ohio River Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Cincinnati Riverfront by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the room, and the view, and the proximity to the river and GAB. The construction all around was odious, but certainly not the fault of the hotel. Oddly, the bathroom did not have a exhaust fan ~ but it was BIG, and that is so nice! I am so tired of bathrooms with the same dimensions as my broom closet at home! the entire living space was wonderfully expansive>>>lots of room for our stuff, lounging around. King beds are a must, and this one was pretty comfortable~!"

Comfort Suites Cincinnati University - Downtown

8/10 Good

"The front desk was nice and helpful her name is Brittany. The managers can use a little finesse when dealing with guests sometimes they can come off a little strong I guess it’s just a personality but if your working as a customer manager you should adjust your attitude to be more a little friendly and not come off as a bit abrasive."

Hampton Inn & Suites Cincinnati-Downtown

8/10 Good

"Wish the mall was still open"

Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza

8/10 Good

"Very well maintained old style hotel - I dis not appreciate the bartender who made me feel very unwelcomed going so far as having my meal provided to me in a bag when I never said I wanted it to take away - when the mistake was delivered, he did nothing to rectify nor apologize - he could have brought me a plate! - instead he hid. I have never been treated this badly and it was after I had paid and tipped -"

Hotel Covington Cincinnati Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely gorgeous hotel with every amenity you could use. I'd come back to the area just to stay in the hotel."

voco The Clair Cincinnati Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely hotel in a good location. Good breakfast too. The highlight was the staff - all so lovely and friendly."

21c Museum Hotel Cincinnati

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing from the time we checked in late to the moment we checked out. After letting the nighttime front desk attendant of an issue with our room, we were accommodated and moved to an upgraded suite. Everyone was friendly, the rooms were all clean, and we thoroughly enjoyed the museum and art features throughout! I would recommend staying here to anyone looking for unique accommodations on their visit to the city!"

Cincinnati Marriott at RiverCenter

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel, great staff. 5-star rating. They even accommodated my super picky 5 year old with a custom made fruit bowl."
